Discocavea d'Orbigny, 1853

Type species: Lichenopora irregularis d'Orbigny, 1851 (=Defrancia reticulata von Hagenow, 1851)

Defrancia reticulata von Hagenow, 1851 was considered as a junior synonym of Lichenopora irregularis d'Orbigny, 1851 by Gregory (1909), but this was reversed by other authors, including Voigt (1924), who referred it to Orosopora. However, I have maintained the genus here, pending further revision.
